The noble district is quite this night, with only the occassional guard patrols seeing light spawn into the roads. The houses themselves for the most part seem to be winding down, as most are snuffing their flames and lamps to turn in for the night.
The Guards outside of Dennris Good's house seem less than enthused about their need to be there, the Large hippo himself passing by them on his way out. "Keep up the good work gentlemen, and a raise in crowns by weeks end. If any come for me, inform them I shall be in the council chambers." The Hippo nodding shortly before he makes his way through the street to the castle...
Cassidy watches the manor quietly from atop the roof of one of the others, garbed in her black and sporting her mask. What was the best way to go about this? She eyes the two guards at the gate, then the sparrow on the roof, humming softly to herself. It certainly seemed suspiciously locked down. She knew a thing or two about noble paranoia, but this seemed a bit... Much for her. Most thugs wouldn't chance a theft of the royal line. She scowls softly and moves quietly along the roof tops, keeping her eyes locked on the sparrow. That was the one she had to watch out for, but she didn't want to kill anyone if she could avoid it, but she wasn't sure she could get across the yard that way. So she hops off the roof and lands outside the wall and starts sprinting quietly along towards the back of the house. She could leap over from the other side, where the one on the roof would hopefully not be able to see her.
In the darkness, it seems her movements are unkown to the guards of the manor, leaving her free to travel as she pleased... Though caution must be had, as around the wall he had a stone walk way put in to being... Meaning that if she was not careful, she'd soon be telegraphing to the sparrow her presence!
Cassidy closes her eyes and settles herself down on the ground for a moment, back against the wall. She didn't want to take any chances, so she reached around into her small satchel and withdrew a roll of cloth, rather like a bandage. Rather than binding a wound, she wrapped it around her paws, instead, helping to ensure no errant clicks of her claws would give her presence away. She did not want to be caught tonight. No, this was her chance to prove that she could be useful for once, and wasn't about to botch it. Satisfied with her work, she hops back up and continues around a little longer til she comes to a stop and takes a soft air-math assisted leap. Not to send her all the way over yet, no. Instead, she just grabbed onto the edge of the wall with her hands and slowly pulls herself up, peeking over the edge to make sure the sparrow wasn't watching her portion of the lawn.
For the most part, the sparrow didn't seem to notice the fennec's presence. Her peak having had happened as he was mid patrol on the roof, with his back to her. A small exchanging of words with the guards below taking his attention as well... Perhaps a joke? They did seem to be laughing. But from where she was right now, she had to move from the west of the house where she was currently located, to the south side where she had observed to gain entrance through the window... Or she could attempt the smaller servants door at the rear.
Cassidy sees her window of opportunity and goes for it. She pulls herself up on the wall and crouches low, kicking up another bit of air magic to propel her straight towards the house, trying to avoid touching the ground. Just in case it was trapped. Her opening wasn't on this side, but that was okay. She didn't need it to be. Her hazard was the yard. Once reaching the house, she sticks close to the wall and begins trying to move around the house. At her proximity, the sparrow should be keeping his eyes on the yard, and hopefully not on the house itself. Even if the roof itself didn't block his view of her. She just had to reach that open window she saw earlier and then it was a simple issue to gain entry. At least in her mind.
Her flight is thankfully graceful and quiet, and she even manages to not hit the house! The small woman left only to hear the cough of the Sparrow,as the overhang of the roof keeps her shielded from his view... Of course, the only difficult point now, would be getting to her entrance without the guards seeing her.
Cassidy was not too overly concerned about the other guards. Not yet, anyway. I mean, they'd be pretty lousy guards if they spent all their time staring at the house, wouldn't they? That's what the guard on the roof was for. So she moved along, staying cautious just in case. She had it planned out in her mind. Once she reached the window, a simple spell, one already prepared in the back of her mind, would carry her right up into it. The same spell she used so often for transportation.
Right she seemed to be, the only danger being when the two would talk to each other, prompting any movement in her side to be right in their field of vision... No doubt with the candle light in the window, her form would be highlighted, so she'd have to time it right and make it quick.
Cassidy watches the guards carefully, a thoughtful frown crossing her face. She conjures up a soft breeze to try to snuff out that candle without causing too much suspicion. That would at least help her sneak in. Afterall, when you leave a window open like that, such things tend to happen! That pesky wind is always blowing out exposed candles!
The Candle flickers and seem to die down some, but it doesn't completely snuff out for her sadly. But as it stands, it doesn't seem like the guards are talking much, their backs turning to the house completely as a pair of attractive hippo females make their way by...
Cassidy grimaces. Not quite what she wanted, but good enough! When their backs turn, she watches for just a moment to make sure the coast was clear before taking her leap. And this was the easy part! Once she was in, things were going to get a lot more difficult, most likely. Or easier, depending...
Her entrance goes unnoticed, as she's soon left inside of a dimly let bedroom... The only downside being the sweaty clothing laid out upon the bed from Dennris, as it seemed his maid didn't pick it up yet! No desks or anything aside from the bed, the dresser, and an empty night stand abide in the room... So he must keep paperwork elsewhere. Directly across from where she entered is a door opened ajar, with a small stream of light filtering thrue from candles in the hallway.
Cassidy adjusts her mask and glances around the room, sniffing softly. She wasn't entirely surprised to not find what she was looking for in here. No self respecting member of the upper class has a manor without a designated study room! Or several. She draws her spirirt-blessed dagger and flips it around, holding it in an icepick grip as she approaches the door. Nudging it open slightly more, she peeks outside to see if anyone was around.
A low humming comes from the hallway, as the maid in question seems present. A large pig female, dressed in a rather expensive looking outfit, was busy shinning the brass along the way to the left of the hallway. Meaning that anything to the right, beyond the door that cassidy couldn't see, was probably safe and free... The only difficulty would be moving without alerting to the woman... She did seem the type to squeel for help after all.
